Chewy is seeking a Chief of Staff to support the President of Chewy Health. This is a highly visible role responsible for driving clarity, alignment, and execution across one of Chewy's most strategic and complex growth businesses.

This role requires strong business judgment, operational rigor, executive presence, and the ability to navigate complexity in a fast-paced, regulated environment.
